Reddit automated punishment?

Contributing member of the Reddit community here.

I have received "Your account has been given a warning" for "threatened violence and physical harm".

This is absolute nonsense and I am waiting to hear back on an "apeal".

But the part that is troublesome is that the punishment was automated:

At the bottom of the message:

“Note: This content was flagged by Reddit's automated systems. This decision was made using automation.”

So I am being punished with a warning by an automated system??

How does this make any sense?

It doesn't. I am waiting for an appeal regarding being banned in r/israel. I denounced their violence and was banned for promoting violence, which is the main activity of that sub.

banned in r/israel. … promoting violence [is] the main activity of that sub.

That’s a pretty blatant lie. I would encourage anyone who thinks that statement might be true to go to the sub and read the messages there.

Don’t rely on some racist to tell you what a subreddit is like.
